Chapter 61: Catch the Thief First Catch the King
After receiving the order from the leader, the horse bandits armed themselves with weapons and formed an encirclement.
Lu Li was surrounded in the middle and was attacked from both sides.
"Go! Get this guy!"
The leader of the horse bandits gave an order, and more than a dozen horse bandits took action in response.
More than a dozen long swords with cold gleams all struck at Lu Li.
Lu Li, however, still stood motionless on the spot.
Seeing this scene, the villagers closed their eyes one after another and did not dare to look down.
Colin couldn't help but sweat for Lu Li.
"Steve, you must not die..."
Colin prayed silently in his heart.
Seeing that Lu Li showed no signs of resisting and fighting back, the bandit leader sneered.
"What an overestimation of one's abilities..."
Before he could finish speaking, a burst of exclamations suddenly erupted from the scene.
The leader of the horse bandits took a closer look and almost stared out of his eyes.
At this moment, Lu Li was actually floating high in the sky.
Directly below him, more than a dozen horse bandits stumbled together, and many were accidentally injured.
The whole scene suddenly became a mess.
Colin stared blankly at Lu Li flying in the air, his mouth hanging open.
The leader of the horse bandits didn't see it, but he could see it clearly.
Just now, when the encirclement of the horse bandits was reduced to the minimum.
Lu Li suddenly flew up from the crowd and avoided the fatal blow.
The horse bandits who rushed towards Lu Li were unable to dodge and they all collided together.
Lu Li's face was calm and there was no trace of any disturbance.
A siege would have no effect on him unless he used bows and arrows to block Lu Li's route to the sky.
He looked around, then drew his sword under control and flew towards the leader of the horse bandits.
Drawing the sword can not only float in the air, but can also move forward, backward, left, and right on the ground.
If you combine the two, you can fly freely in the air.
Before the horse bandit leader could recover from the shock, he felt a cold blade on his neck.
Only then did he finally realize that Lu Li had come to his side.
"If you don't want to die, don't move!"
Lu Li put a knife on the horse bandit leader's neck from behind and said coldly.
When the leader of the horse bandits heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Chief! Are you okay?!"
"Let go of the leader!"
…
When the remaining horse bandits saw this scene, they became extremely excited.
"Whoever dares to come up, I will kill him!"
Lu Li brought the blade closer, and blood was already seeping from the neck of the horse bandit leader.
"Tell your men to put down their weapons."
Lu Li said to the leader of the horse bandits.
"Chief, you can't agree to him!"
"Yes, leader, this kid must have bad intentions! We can't trust him!"
Discordant sounds immediately came from the horse bandits.
"Shut up, everyone! If you don't want me to die, put down your weapons immediately!"
The leader of the horse bandits said angrily.
The horse bandits looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
The leader of the horse bandits almost lost his temper and died. At the critical moment, these men started to lose control.
"It seems that your men don't really care about your life or death."
Lu Li's words made the leader of the horse bandits feel cold.
"Let me say it one last time, everyone put down their weapons. This is an order. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Yellow Sand Knights!"
The leader of the horse bandits shouted.
"Knights of Yellow Sand?"
Hearing this name, Lu Li couldn't help but smile.
A group of horse bandits composed of stragglers actually dared to call themselves Knights, which is really laughable.
It seemed that the words of the leader of the horse bandits had an effect, and the horse bandits put down their weapons one after another.
However, the expressions on their faces were extremely unhappy.
Lu Li winked at Colin, and Colin immediately understood.
He and the villagers quickly picked up all the weapons on the ground.
The weapons used by the villagers before were wooden swords or tools.
After getting the iron sword from the horse bandit, his combat effectiveness immediately improved a lot.
The leader of the horse bandits looked extremely distressed.
Those iron swords are all his wealth accumulated bit by bit!
"Brother, I've given you the weapons, can you let me go?"
the horse bandit leader asked.
"Let you go? I'm afraid this won't work. You still have to stay and be my hostage!"
Lu Li shook his head.
"Ah? You still want me to be a hostage?"
The leader of the horse bandits looked sad when he heard this.
"Don't worry, as long as you obey, I won't do anything to you."
Lu Li said with a smile.
However, his smile fell into the eyes of the horse bandit leader, like a demon from hell.
Lu Li held the leader of the horse bandits on his arm and slowly walked through the crowd of horse bandits.
Although the horse bandits hated Lu Li with all their teeth, they were unable to do anything to him.
Finally, Lu Li returned to the village safely.
"Steve Nubby!"
The villagers cheered in unison.
From charging into battle alone, to finally capturing the leader of the horse bandits alive and returning safely.
They had witnessed with their own eyes the entire process of Lu Li turning the tide.
"Tie him up and put him in my room. I have something to ask him."
Lu Li ordered.
"Steve, what should we do with the horse bandits outside?"
Colin asked.
"They have no weapons now and pose no major threat to the village for the time being. Don't worry about them for now."
After saying that, Lu Li walked towards his house.
The horse bandits outside the village left soon after.
When he returned to the house, the leader of the horse bandits had his hands and feet tied and could not move.
Seeing Lu Li enter the room, he shrank towards the corner in fear.
"What are you afraid of? I'm not a bad person!"
The leader of the horse bandits showed an expression as if you only believe in him.
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. Let's talk about your origins."
Lu Li sat down cross-legged opposite the horse bandit leader and asked.
"My...my name is Turner, and I am the deputy commander of the Yellow Sand Army."
Turner stammered.
"Deputy Captain!"
When Lu Li heard the news, he immediately became alert.
The Turner in front of me is the deputy leader, doesn't there also be a full leader?
In this case, there is still a big fish that has not shown up.
"What about your group leader? Why didn't he come?"
Lu Li asked.
"Captain...Captain, he..."
Turner hemmed and hawed and couldn't explain clearly for a long time.
Lu Li was annoyed when he heard this, and he immediately pulled out his sword and put it on his neck.
"Be honest! Tell me quickly! Where is your leader?"
"Captain, the commander has been missing for a long time..."
As Turner spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red.
Lu Li was stunned when he heard this.
"Missing? What happened?"
He quickly asked.
"It's a long story..."
"Twenty years ago, at that time, I was just an ordinary soldier."
"Once, I was seriously injured while fighting a monster and was about to die. The leader suddenly appeared and saved me."
"In order to repay my kindness, I decided to follow him and go through life and death with him."
"The leader at that time had just come of age and had already joined the Royal City Knights."
"It didn't take long for the leader to become a golden knight, and he is very close to becoming a knight."
"However, the leader suddenly disappeared during a mission. People who were traveling with him said he was dead."
"I don't believe it. The leader is so powerful, how could he die so easily?"
"In order to find the leader, I left with a group of the leader's men."
"But who would have known that not long after we left, Wangcheng listed us as fugitives and wanted us everywhere."
"We had no choice but to hide in the desert and live erect."
